I picked up this L’Oreal Colour Riche lipstic, along with a couple of others after I re-discovered my beloved number 255, which is absolutely gorgeous – I might even get a back up (don’t you love them ones!). I wanted to check out what other shades I might love and this is a crazy bright colour, which I love in the tube, but am often scaried to fork out serious cash for from more expensive brands!

The L’Oreal Colour Riche in #370 (Crazy Fuchsia) is from the Colour Intense range and is designed with light brunette colouring in mind (I’m a dirty blonde, so I reckon I can get away with it!). It is a nice glossy bright fuchsia pink which swatches quite opaque and has that real WoW factor when worn. Like all the other Colour Riche lippies, it has quite a strong scent of parma-violets, which I love, but others may not! I like the Colour Riche range in general, as they are really thick and creamy, last between 3-4 hours because they apply so thick (and these bright colours last a bit of a stain so do show up for longer than the more natural shades), although this sometimes means that they pick up on every fleck and bit of dry skin on my lips, but they don’t actually dry out my lips, which is nice! I don’t have many bright, BRIGHT colours like this in my collection, but it is the type of shade which I should imagine would be a good MAC dupe of one of their colours! (Don’t ask me which one though!)

This costs £8.19 to buy and you can pick them up at most Boots, Superdrug and alot of grocery retailers carry a good selection of L’Oreal products too now. I like the gold case and the fact that the lid is slightly stiff to remove (and won’t fall off in my bag). The lipstick bullet comes with L’Oreal Paris embossed in it, which is a nice touch, my only one niggle with the packaging is that the lids are slanted, so I can’t store them upside down, which is the easiest way to pick a colour from my lipstick holder. I some more colours from the Colour Riche range which I will be adding to the blog, so keep your open for more swatches if you like these :smile:. Have you got any of the Colour Riche range? Which is your favorite, or which would you recommend?
